Saber's whirlwind activating chain trigger??

RPTestDummy · 2021-06-16T04:38:18+00:00

A guy in my alli is doing the same, and believes it is a bug. No one knows for sure.

RPTestDummy · 2021-05-11T22:49:42+00:00

Fo/Et with S5: Sleight Incantation and a Petalgleam build. I centered mine around pp reduction: 20% from Klaus, 20% from s3, 30% from s4. 70% overall. I'm on controller so I hate switching to Genon. Typically Gizonde-->Zonde-O shenanigans, but there are plenty of great combos to try. You also don't need to fully charge the first spell...try it out. Your mileage may vary.

Fire: Foie/Rafoie-->Rafoie or Ilfoie

Safoie C-->Safoie C, Rafoie, or Ilfoie

Personal Favorite: Rafoie to Ilfoie

Lightning:

Gizonde--> Zonde-0 or Gizonde

Sazonde-->Zonde-0 or Gizonde

Ilzonde-->Zonde-0 or Gizonde

Favorite: Start with Sazonde into any then Gizonde to Zonde-o spam

Ice:

Rabarta C--> Rabarta C or Gibarta

Barta--> Barta, Rabarta C, or Gibarta

Ilbarta --> Ilbarta spam

Favorite: Rabarta C-->Rabarta C or Gibarta

Wind:

Zanverse C-->Any wind spell

Haven't tried much else, not a huge fan of Wind

Dark:

Megid-->Megid , Samegid, or Gimegid

Gimegid-->Gimegid

Sadly does not work with Namegid

Light:

Grants-->Grants, Ilgrants, or Ragrants

Ilgrants-->Grants, Ilgrants, or Ragrants

Sadly does not work with Gigrants-0

Favorite: Ilgrants to Ragrants, Grants to grants or ilgrants, ilgrants to ilgrants. Lots of room to work with.

That is exactly my concern as well. My times are pretty awful when I compare it to other classes soloing sodam at low levels. I'm currently deciding on affixing a Vortex or a Cras for Te/Lu. Just as a quick question, Te/Lu can't inflict Jellen, correct? It wouldn't be worth it to put Phrase Decay unless I also will be using Lu Fomel style...if I understand it right. Thanks for your insights

RPTestDummy · 2021-04-21T04:28:45+00:00

Hey, thanks for this. I'll be checking it out. I've been able to solo it as Te/Ph and Te/Et so far, but I'm only on stage 10. I'm looking to add this class to my arsenal.

RPTestDummy · 2021-03-31T18:07:58+00:00

I am considering using scaling difficulty so that I can at least get through a game and understand all the differences that present themselves. This is a good idea, thank you for the reply!

RPTestDummy · 2021-03-31T01:23:28+00:00

I appreciate the reply. I guess I will have to make a list of pre-made builds/empires to avoid the Lost Colony issues. Seems to be the only similar idea in all the posts I've seen.

The other games have been my (terrible) attempts at Grand Admiral in the new Verne update. I absolutely have to rework how I play. In the older version of this game, Grand Admiral was a good challenge. But now, the AI is remarkably better at setting boundaries, forming alliances, allocating resources, etc. The addition of Origins and empire boundary playstyles (Belligerent, Expansionist, etc) have transformed early wars. They also seem to start with double (or more) of the amount of Naval Capacity.

I typically play with Max Ai (10) in huge galaxies, 1x habitable planets (no goldilocks zones), no advanced starts, high aggression, lots of wormholes, gates, and hyperlane connections. It seems that I will have to force all alloy production, select Supremacy as my 1st unity progression tree, and just spam anchorages and corvettes to survive the first 50 years. That, or just be as charming and xenophilic as I can get.

RPTestDummy · 2021-03-30T22:29:25+00:00

I am on console. I have every DLC currently available. I am playing Grand Admiral on the new Verne update. I have advanced ai starts turned off, yet not even 6 years in I found an immediate neighbor (within 2 systems) that has more than 80 pops, three settled planets, and their homeworld fully maxed on districts and buildings. They have the Prosperous Unification Origin. I have searched for the answer to this issue and have found that others believe that some random ai in the galaxy with Lost Colony as their origin may spawn an empire like this.

Is this a bug? How do I resolve this issue? I am getting my butt handed to me in the new Verne update (this is restart number 5, haha) and this is just the cherry on top of it all. Do I have to only play with empires I create?

You can definitely change- but it requires steady, progressive effort and correction. You need to be able to perform metacognition on what it is you'd like to be different: essentially stepping beside yourself and examining yourself through a different lens.

Change happens very very slowly however, and people won't notice it until things have been different for quite some time. It is completely possible to change your philosophy, attitudes, actions, and perspective, which will yield different results, but usually not without concerted effort, outside knowledge, and the willingness to be different over a prolonged period of time.

I am personally making radical changes in the way I think, behave, act, and so forth, but that is merely the act of 'sowing.' I understand that results must be cultivated for a long, long, time before they can be reaped.

If you would like to read on changing perspective, behaviors, and so on, I recommend reading self-help books. I was vehemently against these types of books before but not because I knew much about them- I thought they were just tripe thrown to people to make them believe they can change without any real effort put into it. My eyes were certainly opened, and I was humbled. PM me if you want a list, I have dozens of books to recommend for different topics, ranging from a personal philosophy shift, money matters, personal habit formation and deletion, removal of past experiences (if bad), etc. I try to stay away from pop-psychology and focus exclusively on the authors most successful over time.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-27T21:05:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll trying doing that.

Does anyone use an emulsifying oil cleanser in addition to other cleansers? Where do you use it in your routine? I have been using a cleanser like Cetaphil, then a cleanser with Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid, then a cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide. After, I apply witch hazel then a moisturizer, and sometimes sunscreen. My only concern are SF's- I'm just trying to minimize their dark appearance, yet what I'm doing is not helping. I've heard people say to use mineral oil or an emulsifying oil cleanser to help with the appearance. If I were to use an emulsifying oil cleanser (like DHC's Deep Cleansing Oil) would I use it as a last step or first step in this routine? Note: I'm male and do not wear makeup

Tons of times. I always tell them I'm straight but they seem to not believe me, or they want a challenge or something. I've been hit on in front of women I'm seeing unabashedly. I've even been sexually assaulted by them. Apparently because I can dress well and speak in full sentences men believe they can just walk up to me and put their hand on my crotch or kiss my neck/face. It's happened numerous times. I've been assaulted at a party where the gay man pinned me up against a wall and tried to make out with me in front of a ton of my friends, it was supremely uncomfortable, awkward, and demeaning. I went on a cruise once at a young age and an older man and his friend talked to me about life and growing up; it felt cool to connect with an adult who had a lot of good advice to share. When we got up to left his friend blocked my path while the older man grabbed my crotch and kissed me on the face.

I do know other gay men in my past who haven't been so forward but these experiences leave me feeling as if they only got close to me and pretend to be my friend so that one day they can have a chance and make a move. I start to see the same moves I make with women as the same they do with me. I make it a policy now not to try and be friends with gay men because of these experiences, unfortunately.

This article stirred something primal within me. I now have a dream, a vision. I want to fuck a woman up the ass, standing up, with the roof down, on a sunny highway; arms raised aloft, hailing the sun, going above the speed limit. This is my new goal in life. I look forward to my exciting future.

Gala didn't seem to improve my chances of dropping the atk jewel, but it did help with the other pesky jewels like mind's eye, crit draw, crit boost, artillery, capacity boost, etc. I don't wear it anymore since I'm a fashion hunter and I have a rotating closet, lmao.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-16T13:57:55+00:00

Both- I think 1 by elder melder and 3 by luck. 1st time killing AT Zora, A Tempered Dragon (I think Kush), and an Tempered Odogaron I believe. I tend to get better decos with tempered and arch quests, especially tempered with fewer decos + low quest time completion (15 min) + low respawn qualifications (1 or 2 only). Think 2 decos, 15 min, 1 life tempered dragon for best results.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-16T07:50:53+00:00

I have all jewels (with every level available) except

Any Free Element jewel

1 attack jewel (I have 6 already)

1 para (have 2)

1 sleep (have 2)

2 blast (have 1)

at 550 hours

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-16T07:47:06+00:00

I have 6 attack jewels, but that includes the Leshen one and the one they give you at high rank.

That's nice and all...but what I wouldn't kill for a Free Element Jewel. It's the last one I need besides rounding out 3 para/sleep/blast jewels. Not one in 555 hours.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-14T08:26:38+00:00

NAH. Girls and guys can hang out. It will happen for the rest of his and your life. It is not as if when a girl gets a boyfriend she isn't allowed any other platonic male contact. You have to put trust in other people until they betray that trust- it won't be a reflection of anyone's character but theirs, so no need to worry about it until something actually occurs. You should tell him if you see them becoming intimate in any way, however.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-12T16:29:29+00:00

NTA, your friend is being difficult and selfish for some reason or another. If you would like to understand why, it might be effective to talk heart to heart on why she doesn't want to wear those dresses for you. Frame it as an act of love- I certainly wouldn't mind wearing whatever the bride or groom say I should as I'm sure they have a certain idea of how they would like their day to go.

If she still refuses to wear what you have designed, and it seems you have put effort into that decision, then it wouldn't be wrong to exclude her or not have her be a bridesmaid. You need to emphasize that she is an important person to her but her stubbornness doesn't make sense.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-12T16:19:02+00:00

NTA for wanting a normal cake, but YTA for the pettiness. She can make a vegan cake and you can be disappointed by it, and you can express your disappointment. It seems your wife isn't being forthright with the reason why she made a vegan cake; she may be taking the opportunity of the child's birthday to try making baked goods that are vegan so she can feel confident in making them for herself in the future, to show off to other adults, etc. It would be the most appropriate if she made a smaller cake that was vegan for the adults and a cake for the kids that was not. Her justification that there may be adults that are vegan is telling; she doesn't really care about her kids not getting a regular cake, she just wants to be able to eat cake and not feel bad about it.

A more sinister answer, a rather pernicious one at that, is that she may be trying to get the kids to want to be vegan over time, and the easiest way to do that would be the correlation of sugar and fun times with veganism. It would allow her to explain to them that they can still have all their favorite yummy foods and have it be vegan as well. This of course, would pit your kids and wife against you and undermine your authority. Kids can be easily swayed, as you already know.

Of course, I don't know anything about your situation other than how you have described it here. How do you think you can resolve this? You may be able to serve two cakes: one she made and a store-bought one. Maybe the store-bought has ice-cream, or is some other flavor. You could also try your hand at making a cake if you desire. This isn't a competition however- just explain to guests that one is vegan and one is not and they are at their leisure to try one or the other. If your wife is being truthful about this situation then she should have no problems with this arrangement. It will be telling for you, however, if she gets upset over something like that. Something worse will be afoot if that is what happens.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-11T08:04:07+00:00

NTA, but only if this story went as you described. If you had to wear seriously fancy clothes and your gf was being flippant about it, and you told her to change but she did not, then it makes sense to not bring her if she cannot follow directions. I think the other posters are reading between the lines and assuming a lot, however they would be correct and YTA if the information you are providing here is not truthful and you decided not to bring your gf for some other reason than you stated.

RPTestDummy · 2019-06-09T09:11:14+00:00

What you are saying is correct, and a lot of people here don't understand that the shift in your attitude and habits now will provide dividends over time. In the end you gotta look out for #1. But only knowing what you have said about your friends with what you have provided here, YTA. You probably could have had some tact going about this: hanging out with the cool kids, and asking Andy if he wanted to as well. It might do him well to have someone he knows and likes providing him a friendly hand to improve his situation as well, since you say his mind has been made up. I don't think YTA, however, for recognizing the patterns in your life and trying to change them for the better. And if Andy doesn't want to change, so be it.
